Raspberry Pi Project Pack
10 tried-and-tested projects to help students get the most out of the Raspberry Pi.
Provides a practical approach to delivering computing theory – fantastic for KS3/4 lessons, as well as any RPi enthusiasts outside of lessons.
I particularly like the way a large number of computing concepts have been embedded within the projects... It allows students to apply theory in a practical manner.
The projects:
- Are varied and engaging – ranging from setting up a web server and connecting remotely, to creating games, binary calculators and digital cameras
- Include the relative difficulty/duration, aims, requirements and equipment to help you integrate RPi work into lessons
- Are broken down into manageable tasks, including research, program design and program build (Python) tasks, plus extension ideas to push students further
- Combines instructions with additional theory to develop students' knowledge and practical skill
Plus!
- An introduction to the RPi, as well as the components and add-ons that are used in the projects
- Solutions – including the full working Python3 scripts (also provided on CD)

What do teachers say about this resource? (5826)
The resource is excellent. The tasks had all students engaged and excited. Each task varied in difficulty and brought a new challenge. Allowing the students to progress and experiment... Each task is clearly laid out with project aim, equipment, etc. Allowing the student independence in their learning group . Diagrams/images supported ... Great for project group, work and students taking ownership of work ... Great way to get students excited about computing theory bringing a practical side of understanding hardware/software. Could be used used across KS2-KS4 either in class or at coding clubs
Brilliant ... Easy to follow and gave great ideas ... Gives students inspiration on what their Pi's can be used for ... It is a great way to get students involved with the raspberry pi
This is a comprehensive resource that covers a range of projects, at various levels of complexity. ... I particularly like the way a large number of computing concepts have been embedded within the projects. It demonstrates a more practical approach to the delivery of the theory elements of computing. The formatting of the resource needs work to make it more student friendly, at the moment there are too many large blocks of text. ... It allows students to apply the theory elements of the subject in a practical manner. It also challenges the students to stretch themselves and to work more independently. This resource provides a perfect framework for an extra-curricular club. ... With this structure the easy tasks would be most suitable for upper KS3, the remaining tasks would be best suited to KS4 students.
It's clear and simple to use... Can be used without teacher's inputs... Really useful for coding clubs
